4.3 Setting Current Limit

1. Determine the maximum safe current for the device to be powered.

2. Adjust the coarse and fine current control for the desired current limit. Read

the current value on the current LED display. Wait 3 seconds.

3. The current limit (overload protection) has now been preset. Do not change

the current controls settings after this step.

4.4 Typical Constant Current Operation

1. Before connecting the device to be powered to the power supply, determine the

maximum safe voltage to be applied, and set the voltage controls to obtain that
voltage reading on the voltage LED display.

2. Determine the desired constant current value.
3. Set the coarse and fine current control to minimum (1 mA). Wait 3 seconds.
4. Turn off the power supply and connect it to the device to be powered.
5. Turn on the power supply. The CC indicator should light.
